Anyone ever run these on the front of there Mazda?

I was looking at those, can't see why you can't.
If you have something specific in mind there are plenty of clever suspension blokes on here.
Of which, I am not one, lol

Ok.... So I guess I'll be the first to try this lol. Let you know how it goes.

Place a link to them, they'd be nice for maintaining ride height in with loads etc (the ones I saw)

Link to shocks

I knew a guy that did it on a Mazda back in 98. Worked ok but took a lot of psi to get the front up. He didn't put them in the stock location, he fabbed a new upper mount so the truck would lay out. Also the shock bodies are rather large so you gotta enlarge the upper arm opening. For all that work you could just put airbags on it

Yea I did notice they are pretty big around.... I havent tried to install them yet. If I have to cut shit I'm not going to install them.

They don't collapse short enough to mount in stock spot. They would hold your truck up higher than you prob want. Plus you would have to upgrade all the hoses to it so it would hold atleast 100psi

Another issue is that the factory upper shock bracket is not likely strong enough to hold the weight of the truck on the shocks...so I've heard.
